Corporate health data firm Healthi has joined the trade body Group Risk Development (Grid).
Healthi seeks to provide healthcare providers, brokers and employers with predictive real-time data insights on health and wellbeing. It says this can offers businesses a strategic advantage, particularly when compared to static claims data, when it comes to supplying evidence-based data on which group risk products, specific benefits or health strategies are delivering results.
Healthi founder and CEO Ryan Hopkins says that the companies is focused on closing the protection gap, particularly for the 5.5 million SMEs that represent over 99.8 per cent of the UK business population and employ 16.9 million people.
“Our collaboration seeks to support the 7.95 million workers currently without access to employer-provided healthcare through smarter, more accessible health strategies. We’re all 100 per cent aligned on simplifying the complex, and making world-class health insights available to every employer, regardless of size.”
Grid chair Colin Fitzgerald adds: “We are very pleased to add Healthi to our membership. The goals of the company clearly align with the goals of Grid – to create awareness and understanding of group risk, its embedded support services and the benefits for employers and their workforces.
“Our membership has a great wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise, and it is great to now add to this with the technical and statistical expertise from Healthi.”
